After many adjustments finally got my CX2 trimmed and tweaked properly but almost from the start I have had an intermittent throttle problem. After battery is pluggd into CX2, I sometimes have to plug and unpllug to get battery to engage and get green LED on 4 in 1. Then servos work properly but throttle does not function. It is necessary to plug and unplug battery then after working controls and messing with it a bit the throttle will work. As far as I can see there is no binding of the rotor or gears and all plugs in the 4 in 1 are secure. Is it possible that red 2 pin on battery has gone south but can't figure why servos function while throttle doesn't! Help!

After you plug in the battery, ensure your throttle and the trim are bottomed out. plug in battery and wait for 10 seconds, it takes that long for the receiver and transmitter to talk to each other and find the correct channels to fly on. The green light will come on solid when it is ready, if at any time during the initialising procedure you move the throttle , you will have to wait all over again.

Thanks Carlo your right. I found if I wait a little while it will engage. Didn't realize there was that much lag time. Thanks!
